Lebanese Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai affirmed that the country's current situation requires a bold political decision to make necessary reforms.
During Sunday’s mass, Rai said that all eyes are on the government to rescue Lebanon from the crises. Everyone is anticipating that it initiates the required reforms in all sectors, especially that several solutions already exist and only need action.
The Lebanese people are expecting administrative recruitment based on qualifications and not on quotas, he stressed.
While Rai hailed the exploration of gas and oil in the country, he urged the government to hasten the establishment of stations to generate electrical energy and put an end to temporary solutions.
The government should also look into the people’s issue with the banks, as they have become beggars at their doors and at food stores that have raised goods' prices mercilessly.
Rai highlighted the spread of the new coronavirus jeopardizing citizens’ safety and which requires more serious procedures.
He concluded wishing the Lebanese people protection from illness and destitution and the government salvation from the economic and financial crisis.
